Victory Aircraft manufactured 430 Lancaster Xs at their Malton, ON plant, FM136 emerging in 1945. Sent to 32 MU St Athan in May 1945, it was too late to be issued to an active squadron and returned to the Pearce, AB depot in Canada. Eventually converted to Maritime Reconnaissance configuration, it was flown by 404 'Buffalo' (Maritime Patrol) Sqdn at Greenwood, Nova Scotia and later 407 'Demon' (MP) Squadron at Comox, BC carrying squadron markings RX-136 until struck off in April 1961. FM136 spent the next 30 years displayed on a pedestal at Calgary airport before joining the museum in 1992.

This Anson was constructed from a collection of parts from a variety of incomplete airframes lying in southern Alberta. The wing was manufactured from scratch according to original plans, with the port side left unskinned to illustrate the combined wood and metal construction. The aircraft is beautifully finished as RCAF 7401, which served throughout WWII with 18 SFTS at Vulcan, Alberta. It appears that substantial sections of 12587, a MkV, may have been incorporated.

Originally 47-0606 with the USAF, this Sabre became a chase plane at Edwards Air Force Base, CA for various high-speed rocket-propelled aircraft including the Bell X-1 and Douglas D-558-II Skyrocket. Registered N57965 and with the Museum of Flight, Seattle 1989-1997. Then restored using parts from Canadian-built Sabres. The serial 23175 was chosen because 23 was the prefix on all Mk5 and 6 RCAF Sabres, the 1 recognises 1 Air Division of the RCAF (Europe) and 75 for the 75th anniversary of the RCAF in 1999 when the restoration was completed. The real 23175 was CL-13A Sabre 5 c/n 965.

The original CF-AZM (c/n 4449) was a Waco QC-6 Custom purchased and operated by Grant McConachie, then President of Yukon Southern Transport and later CEO of Canadian Pacific Air Lines. It was lost through the ice of Watson Lake, Yukon in 1938. In 1983 Waco NC16520 c/n 4479 was imported to Calgary from Woodlake, California and restored to mint condition with new fabric and overhauled engine. After a special application, the re-use of registration CF-AZM to mark the previous aircraft was granted.

Originally 42-108960 and registered CF-BZI in 1956. Written off while landing on 13th May 1971 in whiteout conditions at Somerset Island, Nunavut which is a large, uninhabited island of the Arctic Archipelago. The left main gear ski dug in when the aircraft touched down ahead of the runway and slewed it sideways causing major damage. It has been preserved at Calgary since the mid-1990s and some parts from C-FIQR c/n 11876 (which had also earlier crashed, in 1977) were used in its restoration.
